The book Renal Failure – The Facts consists of some facts about diagnosis,
etiopathogenis and treatment of acute and chronic renal failure. Acute, as well as
chronic renal failure is great medical problems and their treatment is a burden for the
budget of each government.
Acute kidney injury (AKI), previously termed acute renal failure, is a frequent clinical
condition in critically ill patients especially, in intensive care units (ICU). Its incidence
varies from 1-7 % of all hospitalized patients to 30-50 % of patients in ICU....

(BQ) Part 1 book "Harrison's nephrology and acid-base disorders" presents the following contents: Introduction to the renal system, alterations of renal function and electrolytes, acute kidney injury and chronic renal failure.

Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death in patients
with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The diagnosis, management,
and treatment of cardiac disease in ESRD remain a difficult problem for
clinicians. In 1982, Love and co-authors published “Cardiac Surgery in
Patients with Chronic Renal Disease’’ which compiled the latest and best
treatment options at that time.

The second chapter case study by Rosso et al. presents a medical survey that tests
professional drivers for the presence of various psychoactive substances. Positives
were identified by using a commercially available immunoassay rapid kit test which
indicates consumption of psychoactive drugs. This is of interest and important since
the dependence on drugs may pose a risk to drivers in their profession affecting their
reaction time and driving judgment. This is one of the first and important
contributions to the literature in this area.

Vitamin C can be transported into the cell either as its reduced form or dehydroascorbate
(oxidized form), using active sodium-dependent transporters (SVCT1 and SVCT2) and
facilitative glucose transporters (GLUTs) (André et al., 2010). GLUTs also permit the
permeation of vitamin C into mitochondria.

“Housing Our Elders” (1999) uses a supplement to the 1995 AHS on home
accessibility needs and modifications to develop a baseline of information on elderly
housing conditions, needs, and strategies. It is found that “overall, older Americans are
among the best housed citizens of a well-housed Nation”. However, “millions of elderly
households continue to live in housing that costs too much, is in substandard condition,
or fails to accommodate their physical capabilities or assistance needs”.

We identify a simple marketing strategy, called the influenceand-
exploit strategy. Recall that any marketing strategy has
two aspects: pricing and finding the right sequence of offers.
In the initial influence step, motivated by the the form of
the optimal strategy in the symmetric case, the seller starts
by giving the item away for free to a specifically chosen set
of players A ⊆ V .

Having spread its power to most parts of Europe, the Christian Church with its headquarters
in Rome was by the sixteenth century the most powerful source of political legitimacy and
moral authority across the territory ruled by the kings and queens of the day. Through the
doctrine of ‘divine right’, the notion that a monarch ruled by the disposition of God,
32
the
Christian Church positioned itself at the centre of the political order. This had not always been
a comfortable relationship, and the Popes at the head of the...

However, more recent studies have put in
doubt the true role of PSA velocity, the European Randomized Study of Screening for
Prostate Cancer demonstrated that increased PSA velocity was not associated with
increased cancer risk, but was associated with higher grade cancers, defined as ≥ stage T1c
and/or a Gleason score ≥7 (Roobol, 2006a).

Other areas that pose a challenge for developing countries include the potential impact of
the operations of insurance companies on the activities of policyholders and the economy
as a whole, the impact of emerging trends in the global insurance market, the need to
overcome supply-side constraints, the need to raise public awareness about the benefits of
insurance coverage, the need to build human capacity and how to take advantage of
changes arising from liberalization and globalization within the insurance sector to
develop export opportunities.

Dense, erudite and sometimes even esoteric, Bonfand’s book is written for the
scholar rather than a more general audience. Nevertheless, one has to acknowledge the
risk-taking and even the tour de force aspect of the book in which Bonfand ponders the
relation between painting and cinema in a very new way. Finally, this work is very
encouraging for further investigations of the phenomenology of film using the
groundbreaking concepts of the French new wave in phenomenology.
